remove {{High-use| 11,000+ }} since only 2 transclusions as per //tools.wmflabs.org/templatecount/index.php?lang=en&namespace=10&name=Whose

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

==Usage==
The {{tl|Whose}} template is a variant of the {{tl|Who}} template for statements with unclear referents, such as "Smith debated with Jones the validity of '''his''' theory of..." (Whose theory? Smith's, or Jones's?)

Use good judgment when deciding whether greater specificity is actually in the best interests of the article. Words like ''some'' or ''most'' are not banned and can be useful and appropriate. If greater specificity would result in a tedious [[wikt:laundry list|laundry list]] of items with no real importance, then Wikipedia should remain concise, even if it means being vague. If the reliable sources are not specific—if the reliable sources say only that "In some countries..."—then Wikipedia must remain vague.

You may use either one of the following formats:
: <code><nowiki>{{whose|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code>
or

: <code><nowiki>{{whose|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

This tag will categorize tagged articles into [[:Category:Articles with specifically marked weasel-worded phrases]]. This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid|self-reference]] and is part of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|Wikipedia project]] rather than the [[encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] content.
